24 Hours of Barcelona 2016
Lens: Sigma 100-300mm F4 Camera: Pentax K5 Photo Location: Circuit de Catalunya 
Posted By: red5isalive, 09-11-2016, 05:16 AM

Dear members, once again it's this time of the year, and so the magic 24H race of Barcelona have been last weekend.

With 65 cars racing it, and many categories, it's always a fun race to watch, and this year also I was able to get there as media.

So I wanted to share some photos with you.

First some from Friday qualify, then I will post some from the race (Saturday 12am to Sunday 12am, with temperatures around 34 celsius, and an incredibly disturbing humidity of the 70% it's been tuff this year)











Hoping you like them, it was all about catching the perfect light!

Great images!

Footnote: I don't see how these pics are possible. Everyone knows that Pentax cannot be used for fast-moving sports. And at night, even!

Thank you Steve, yet is not the sharpest photo, the terrible light conditions made me use high isos and so on, it took me a while to have the shot and, to be honest, i didn't wanted it so closed, but still think it shows the action I wanted to capture, and I'm quite happy with it

Thanks! Yes that kerb..... That corner edge.... And that car, same every year indeed, they love to cut it and drive over the kerb and I love when they do. Just panning there with my sigma 100-300 its a bit tuff as it is a point where you get close to the cars so 100mm its more than enough to get the action; i should grab myself something between 18-135 or so, so just its not as close in the minimum distance,

Nevertheless again thanks
